Holiday to
Probably the best hotel we've ever stayed in. The staff are superb, the best we've ever come across. We were expecting excellent but what we got was another level, to be honest we can't get the place out of our heads or hearts! Sounds corny but it's just left such a mark on us.
Great location and lovely hotel, reception and porter staff were excellent. Rooms very nice and they were excellent with children. The service in the restaurants was only ok. We did a day tour that the hotel organized with the local tour company we used. The guides name was Keith, he was excellent and I would recommend him to anyone.
